Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Number of hydrogen atoms in alkane with three carbon atoms is to be determined.
Concept Introduction :
(b)
Interpretation:
Number of hydrogen atoms in alkane for five carbon atoms is to be determined.
Concept Introduction :
Alkanes are simple hydrocarbons in which valency of carbon is fully satisfied by hydrogen atoms only. Alkanes contain single covalent bonds between carbon and hydrogen.
(c)
Interpretation:
Number of hydrogen atoms in alkane for fifteen carbon atoms is to be determined.
Concept Introduction :
Alkanes are simple hydrocarbons in which valency of carbon is fully satisfied by hydrogen atoms only. Alkanes contain single covalent bonds between carbon and hydrogen.
(c)
Interpretation:
Number of hydrogen atoms in alkane for eighteen carbon atoms is to be determined.
Concept Introduction :
Alkanes are simple hydrocarbons in which valency of carbon is fully satisfied by hydrogen atoms only. Alkanes contain single covalent bonds between carbon and hydrogen.
